Up until this weekend, my mom has pretty much breezed through chemo. But a body can only gracefully tolerate poison for so long. This weekend the breeze died down, and well, she collapsed with a thud into the proverbial wall. She is achy and nauseous and in jeopardy of losing her finger nails. Plus she continues to suffer hot flashes and exhaustion.
The silver lining lies in the fact that she is very nearly done with chemo. This Thursday is her last scheduled treatment. As winter fades, her storm also should be quieting. And in its wake we hope to see sprouts on her head, strength in her body, and renewed hope in her life.

Bless all of your hearts. I keep you in my thoughts continually.
Please know that our prayers are being lifted up to the Great Physician on behalf of your mom. She is a trooper, but our bodies (amazing as they are!) can only handle so much. Prayers for strength & total healing will continue. Love & hugs to all.
That just makes my heart break...I love you guys and your mom and your family are continuously in my prayers!
Our hearts and prayers are with you all! As the Lord never fails to bring another spring and summer, He will never fail you in your great time of need. We don't see much of the ground yet in Montana, but the snow melted away enough yesterday that I saw dozens of little tiny purple flowers already coming up from the ground. A tiny flower, already blooming under the snow, made by God to remind us that our hope will be greeted with His goodness. Love you.
Thanks for all of the love! What a sustaining thing!
